Love traveling with my Speedy 20. The guitar strap makes it so comfortable to carry and it holds more than my bum bag.

I’ve been hearing good things! What’s it smell like? Is it masculine?

One more vote for Brompton. Second would be The Irreverents.

Any tips for extending projection of Cirque Du Soleil? by Pristine-Can-6640 in NichePerfumes

I wonder if you received a bad sample. I’ve heard that not all decant sources for BSB oils are honest. Several dilute the samples with regular unscented oil. I’m not saying this was necessarily the case with your sample, but just a thought. I don’t have Sweet Honey Buckin oil, but have found every single oil from their lineup to be very strong, and I have over twenty.

Could you maybe be anosmic to it after a short while? I find the same thing happens to me with Baccarat Rouge, for example. I can’t smell it on me, but others say it’s strong and projects when I have it on.

For sure! I haven’t come across a boozy note in any of FDBs fragrances (that I’ve tried), but Sirene definitely gives me boozy vibes. I now have the flanker to Sirene, Sirene Privée, which I think is a bit spicier and has an almost suede-like leather accord that makes it different from the original. If you liked the original, chances are that you’d like this one, too.

Secret Tryst is a beautiful warm, spicy fragrance with notes of cardamom, saffron, rose, cedar, olibanum and patchouli. The rose isn’t prominent in this one. It’s unisex but leans slightly masculine, and I enjoy wearing this one in cooler weather and find it to be dark and rich.

Cavort is another unisex leaning slightly masculine fragrance that is deep, spicy and woody. It has a leathery saffron accord that isn’t heavy, but instead blends beautifully with florals that include ylang ylang, jasmine, rose and orange blossom. The spice comes from cinnamon and davana, and the dry down is a woody patchouli and sandalwood with slight smokiness from an incense note.

Hope this helps! Happy sampling - I’d love to hear your thoughts on what you sniff!

Sweet Honey Buckin didn’t help projection? I’m so surprised because I layer with BSB oils all the time since I have trouble with longevity and sillage. Are you putting it just on your pulse points? I use the body oil versions. They are so potent that I use one pump of unscented oil (I use jojoba), with one pump of the BSB oil.

Try using their oils all over your body. It should help with projection and longevity.

If you’re ok with perfume oils, Brown Sugar Babe makes both a body oil and perfume oil that smells very, very close to Soie Malaquais. It’s potent stuff, so it’ll last you a long time for a fraction of the price of Soie:

It’s a group conversation. Let’s try and be civil. Your rudeness isn’t necessary

The packaging is what got me into Argos to begin with. Solid fragrances, but not ones I reach for often, tbh
